Subject: How was Jesus slain 'before' ? |
Bible Note: Hi CDBJ, I hesitate to answer your post because I had to look up "perspicuous". I wanted to tell you that your choices of Scripture were excellent for the points that you made. Thank you. Can I give you some comparison phrases from my study of your references? 1 Peter 1:20, "For *He [Christ] was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you..." [Even though they did not honor Him as *God]. See Romans 1:21. Ephesians 1:4, "In love *He predestined us to adoption as sons..." Ephesians 1:11, "In *Him also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to (His) purpose..." Ephesians 1:18, "...so that you may know what is the hope of *His calling, what are the riches of the glory of (His) inheritance in the saints..." Romans 8:16, "The Spirit *Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of (God)." See Romans 6:22, John 17:9, James 4:7 Romans 8:23, "And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the *Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body." John 1:12, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of *God, even to those who believe on (His) name." Romans 8:28, "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love *God, TO THOSE WHO are called according to (His) purpose." John 1:12, "...to them He gave the right to become children of *God, even TO THOSE WHO believe in (His) name." I hope that you can see these comparisons and that this is worthwhile to you even as yours were to my mind. From the heart, Ray |
